Two yukata coordinations from Tsuyukusa!Look at the careful way the straps of the geta are coordinated with the ‘highlight’ color of the yukata– especially in the second yukata, they pick up the background teal tone which is also pulled out into the obi color. In the top yukata, white is used as a highlight color against a bold teal and extremely deep indigo color– the flowers seem to glow. They might be chrysanthemums or a stylized daisy.The stark, blazing white obi lends adult flair to this large-patterned piece. You can see more of it here.The second one is a bit more festive, utilizing a marbled and chaotic jumble of violet and teal but with a carefully structured pattern of asa-no-ha. The large white triangles of the motif give us a bit of a break from the crazy color scheme. Look at it up close here. -- source link
